Suicide at Niagara.

], NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, June 19.-
About 4SO o'clock this afternoon party
of visitors who were viewing the scenery
from the Three Sister Islands observed 8
middle.aged man standing on the third
bridge that connects the islands. Look
ing back little later the man was seen
TO have his coat and hat off and was in
the act of leaping from the bridge into
the water. The party we're at too great
distance to do aught but stand and wit.
ness the fatal leap. The body sank at
once, and passed over the Horse Shoe
Falls. From the papers in the pocket Of
his coat, it was learned that 6 the e man was
F. ,Trigg, of Washington, ID. u, guest
at the international Hotel for the past
few days. The body will probably not
be found before it reaches Lewiston,
eight miles down the river, which will
NOT be before two Or three days have
elapsed.

Tie Confederate Battle Flags.

ATLANTA, GA, June 16.-In response
to dispatch from New York, asking for
his opinion in regard to the proposed re.
turn of the captured Confederate flags
to the Governors of the different South.
ern States, Governor Gordon has sent
the following messagel
"Your telegram asking my views on
the proposition to return Southern flags
received. When the proposition first
reached me 1 regarded it as additional
evidence of restored concord and frater-
nal sentiment. AS such my heart re-
sponded most warmly to the movement,
but as portion of the Northern press
and people seek to make it an occasion
for renewed estrsngement and bitterness,
would prefer to leave the flags where
they are. speak as an individual and
an ex.soldier, and not as Governor and
without consultation, but l believe this
will be found to be the sense and senti-
ment of the Southern people. We are
weary of strife and hate. We want peace
and good will, and prefer these to the re.
turn of even so cherished relics, if their
return is to be made at such cost"

:; Daring Train Robbery.

3 HoUsToN, Tex, June ls.-Yhe NEST
daring strain' robbery that has ever oc.
scurred in Texas was perpetrated at l:SO
sa. m. this morning short distance this
side, Of Schulenburg on. the Southern
Pacific railway. As the tram drew up
at the station two men with drawn revol-
vers mounted the engine, covered the
engineer with their weapons and com.
PEELED him 10 pull the train out to the
open prairie few hundred yards to the
east where FIRE was burning, around
which stood eight or ten men armed with
Winchester rifles: The two robbers on
the engine stood guard over the man at
the throttle, while the others went
through the mail, the express and the
passenger cars. Nearly all the passen-
gers were asleep and did not know what
was going ON till they were aroused by
the robbers. The first man tackled by
the thieves was W. .Newberger, of New
York, whom they struck op the head
with revolver. They secured from, him
seventy.fve dollars in cash and several
diamonds and gold watch, valued at
about $1,000. Lou Mayer, of Cincin'
natl, was relieved of s35. R. L. Arm.
stead, of New York, gave up 500. He
had a larger amount Of money with him,
but it was hidden in the sleeping car.
A gentleman from Mexico, whose name
could not be learned, lost s4O0. All OF
the passengers lost what galuables they
had, and it is difficult to form An estimate
of the amount of money and jewelry
secured. 1t is reckoned at $4,000.
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express car was
also gone through, but the amount Of
money taken from it cannot be ascer.
taiued. No mail route agent was on the
train, but the through mail pouches in
the express car were all cut open and
their contents appropriated. The total
amount secured by the robbers is put
down at $1,000 or 10000, but when q
careful revise of the matter is made the
figures may be changed. There is nc
doubt that considerable booty was re.
ceived and the gang made off with il
successfully. The whole country ls
aroused and in arms. Several F. ties
have gone in search of the robbers.

A Model Texas County.
SHERMAN, Tex, June 1, 18e

SHERMAN, Tex, June 1, 1887.
Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me space in your
valuable paper for a few items from this
county. Having been born and raised
in Anderson County, and feeling a deep
interest in her welfare, and assured that
I have left many friends in that State
who would like to hear of my where
,abouts, I wonld say that l am living in
the City of Sherman, in the northern
portion of Grayson County, Texas, 8
distance of only ten miles from the
Indian Territory. The city of Sherman
has 8 population ofl2,500, and the Coun-
ty has about $4,000. This County is
more tbickly settled than any in the
State. The soil is the black wake and
vastly rich, the soil being from 8 to Z
feet deep, aud producing fine crops of
corn, cotton, wheat, oats, cane, millet
and all manner Of vegetables and fruits.
This County being one of the drouth
stricken last year didn't make more than
q half or three. e.foarths Of crop. The
crops for this year up to date are the
finest that have been raised for years.
The greater portion Of the grain crop has
been harvested. The average yield Of
wheat per acre is Is bushels, oats from go
to 100 bushels per acre. The corn crop
is all laid by, and is estimated with no
disaster at from 40 to 80 bushels per acre.
This County boasts of the best schools in
the State, and many fine churches.
The health of the County is claimed to
be unsurpassed by any in the Southern
States. This being my first notice given
of my County in your columns will be
brief, with my best wishes for the In.

- Michigan is now one of the most ad.
yanced States in the Union in the matter
of regulating the liquor traffic. It's pres.
ent tax law levies uniform tax Of $500
upon every wholesale dealer and $500
upon every retail dealer, the proceeds to
go into the local treasures. An amend:
ment to the law has been passed by one
house of the present Legislature, and is
now pending in the other, which raises
the tax to $500 on wholesale dealers and
$500 on retail dealers. By adding the
local option principle to the uniform
State tax, Michigan follows the example
of Ohio and Illinois, though her proposed
tax is much higher than that of either OF
those States. Taken together, taxation
and local option have been found to work
most effectively for both the restriction
and suppression of the traffic. Taxation
works well where the majority of public
sentiment is against prohibition, as it Ia
J in all the large cities and local option
easily maintains prohibition in the rural
portions Of the States.

SUNDAY morning the Msios indicated
that there were reasons to hope TOR 9 !.
favorable decision by Col. Hammett OF
the proposition made by&capitalists at
the North, especially in Boston, to estab'
Ilish q large new cotton mill here if ne
would consent to take the management
fit.
That hope was realized late yesterday
afternoon when Col. .Hammett finally
announced to the gentlemen here imme'
diately interested that he had decided to
undertake the management OF the enter
There is now only that { ,bt that is
over all human undertakings. Speaking
generally, there is no doubt. The money
IS all ready in Boston. Some subscrip.
tions will be taken here to secure the
moral support of the community, and
men here are now ready and willing to
give all that is necessary Of local capital.
Col. Hammett and several gentlemen
idrovetout on yesterday and selected the
site for the new mill. It's on the line OF
the Air Line railroad about 500 yards
north of the Buncombe road. The prop.
erty is owned by Col. Hammett himself
and is close to the fair grounds and
adjoining land of DR.. J. Fl. Maxwell.
It is half q mile outside the corporate
limits. - -, ..oo
The capital Of the mill will be $780,.
900. The mill WILDE for the manufac.
| ture of cotton cloth and will employ
about 600 hands. 1t will have between
1000 and $4,000 spindles and the wages
paid out will be between 100000 and
| $4,000 year.
Col. Hammett was seen and talked
with by reporter for the Greenville
| Nesus last evening. He said all that was
| left to arrange were some matters OF
detail which could, he thought, be dis.
posed of without trouble. The site
4 selected he said, was good one. There
were 800 acres, giving room enough, he
said with kindly light kindling in his
eyes, for village of fifteen hundred
happy. industrious and thrifty reople,
which he hoped to establish and main

entirely comfortable. Of course small

borhood, but the people will naturally
come to town to do most of their trad.

about the happiest in the State, but
want to try and make the new mill an
improvement on Piedmont. One advan'

In q speech to the veterans Governor
Foraker u~nwrapped the bloody shirt and
